Liquefied air separation FAQ

The nitrogen from the top of the upper tower is piped through the nitrogen gas pipeline, reheated through the main heat exchanger of the colder tower, and a portion of the nitrogen is pumped out, then combined with the first pipeline and a portion of the nitrogen vaporised in the liquefier in the third pipeline before going to the main vessel. The first raw material air pipeline is heated up and out of the cold box in liquid air separation plant, then goes to the high pressure heat exchanger of ...

The liquid air separation plant uses circulating nitrogen to absorb the cold end of LNG, thus replacing the traditional hot and cold end expanders of the liquid air separation plant. The liquid air separation plant energy consumption is reduced by using glycol aqueous solution closed circuit to absorb the cold at the high temperature end of LNG, thus replacing the traditional cool water tower with lower cooling water temperature and less water consumption. The key of the liquid air separation pl...

Traditional LNG receiving stations use seawater open-frame vaporisers or submerged combustion vaporisers to vaporise LNG, which not only wastes valuable cold energy but also produces localised low temperature pollution of the nearby sea. The air separation temperature range is between -190C - 150C and the LNG vaporisation temperature is -162C, which matches the liquid air separation plant temperature range. The use of LNG's high quality low temperature cold energy for liquid air separation plant...

There is an open heat pump argon extraction process.   The new single column process can only use the open heat pump argon extraction process. Taking 10000cm³ air separation as an example, the main parameters are described as follows.   1、 The quantity of argon fraction is 4200-4300cm3 / h, the content of argon is 10%, the content of nitrogen is 1%, and the rest is oxygen.   2、 The theoretical plate number of the whole column is about 100.   3、 Two heat pump dist...

The liquefaction of gases can be divided into forward and reverse cycles. The forward cycle process is the absorption of heat from the higher temperature external heat source and the release of heat to the lower temperature external heat source. The reverse cycle is when the mass draws heat from a lower temperature external heat source and releases it to a higher temperature external heat source. The forward cycle converts heat energy into mechanical energy and the reverse cycle converts mechani...
